Wow, I just started using this.
Great open-source forum software, nice to work with, nice admin cp.

Seems interesting. On the default style, it looks as if they've tried going for the clean / lo-fi style although haven't really pulled it off too well. Admin Panel is a bit "too" basic too, although give it time to develop and it should get better.

For anyone who wants a preview:

Nice. You installed it. -D-
I love the way its so basic and fast loading.

I agree with the loading times, they're very quick!

One thing I really don't like is that you have to keep typing in your username and password EVERY time you want to access the Admin Panel. On the other hand, it seems pretty simple to style and has very few fiels in the file system (Unlike phpBB or vBulletin which have 1000's).

I can see where this would be useful on say a business' website where they're not looking for any state of the art features or fancy skins. It simply does what it says on the tin, and does it quickly. ~smile~

Never heard of this before, but i gave it a spin on pixelraider and i must says its very fast lightweight 😛

I know, shame its not more popular.
It would be great for people new to forums.

I might write to them asking if I can start a free host using it. -happy-

Good idea, lots of software gets popular that way, and if youre the only host that offers it, well then youll get the members who dont know anything about ftp. Sadly, thats 60% of the people >.>

Not bad. I think it looks pretty professional and should only get better with time.

Definitely going to be a great free software if they keep at it.

And thanks for letting us use the demo account MhW 😀

It looks...... Well it looks very new. It needs time to get up with the forums. I personally dont like it, but I'll give it time.

Well, there's one pretty fundamental problem is that there's no auto-logout. I'm still signed in from yesterday's session.

This could be a problem if you forget to log out on a shared computer ~lol~

Its not new. Its been around for 3 years. -lol-

 

[Kino]

Has it really? Well then they still need a lot of improving.

 

[DaReapers]

Oh cool.. i have not tried that forum software.. looks interesting.. i'll give it a try later

 

[Ascent]

It looks great, but it's much too new for me to use. 🙂

 

[Nebulous]

I dont really care for it. I would have to set up a test board to explore it further.

You're welcome to use the one in my second post of this topic. The demo account has administration control panel access. ~smile~
